NAME

6       kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password
7

SYNOPSIS

9       kpasswd [principal]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password.
13       kpasswd first prompts for the current Kerberos password,  then  prompts
14       the user twice for the new password, and the password is changed.
15
16       If  the  principal  is  governed  by a policy that specifies the length
17       and/or number of character classes required in the  new  password,  the
18       new  password  must conform to the policy.  (The five character classes
19       are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other charac‐
20       ters.)

OPTIONS

23       principal
24              Change  the password for the Kerberos principal principal.  Oth‐
25              erwise, kpasswd uses the principal name from an existing  ccache
26              if there is one; if not, the principal is derived from the iden‐
27              tity of the user invoking the kpasswd command.
